Besides the delicate grumpiness which is gratuitously scattered throughout this blog like the golden rays of light in a gentle sunset, there exist a few blog posts which have been written with the express purpose of venting out some major grumpiness.

Q: How does a full stack developer sleep?
A: They don't sleep, they REST.

Almost every single company delivering some kind of product on the web since the early 2010s seems to be looking to hire full-stack developers. Full stack development is all the rage. If you are an employer, you can't possibly be doing it right unless you are hiring full-stack developers to do the job. If you are a programmer, you are not particularly employable unless you can work with the full stack.

It is almost as if software architectures requiring each individual programmer to work on every single layer of the entire stack are a good thing. It is almost as if the the job market is full of programmers who are actually capable of working on every layer of the stack. And it is almost as if they could possibly be good at that. Or at any part of it.
